Answer: “Mass in motion” is called momentum.

A body’s momentum is determined by multiplying its mass by its velocity.

In mathematics, this is denoted as:

p = mv

Where m is the body’s mass, v is its speed, and p is its momentum.

We know that the dot product of a scalar and a vector always yields a vector quantity since mass is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. 

Hence, momentum is a vector quantity.
